2:29:45Now PlayingMPs are due to vote for the first time today on the Courts and Tribunals Bill, which will remove the right to a jury trial for Crown Court cases concerning crimes that carry sentences of up to three years.
More than 3,200 people involved in the legal profession have written to the prime minister urging him to "rethink" plans to restrict jury trials for all but the most serious cases.
The group, which includes 22 retired judges and more than 300 senior barristers, alongside solicitors, academics, and other legal professionals, have urged Sir Keir Starmer to halt what they say is an "erosion of a deeply entrenched constitutional principle for negligible gain".
